WAR
War! War! The scourge of society
Countless crimes
Committed
In your name
Throughout history
When'll it end?
'Coz is difficult
To build
But
Easy to destroy
Small and big nations
Clamour for resources
Claiming
Doing it
In the name of progress
The victor
And
The vanquished
All count the cost
Of physical
And
Human damage
Takes centuries
To avenge
Why don’t we live
In peace?
Counting our blessings
For surviving
Natural disasters
Don’t need war
Brought about
By human folly
Greed
Avarice and
Thirst and hunger
For power and resources
War! War!
The scourge of society
Countless crimes
Committed
In your name
When'll it end?

Why do the good guys always
Why do the good guys always win?
Because they get to write the history books.
